Mike Wilkinson: Drops decision in London Saturday
Wilkinson lost to Makwan Amirkhani via unanimous decision (27-30, 28-29, 28-29) at UFC Fight Night on Saturday in London.
ANALYSIS
In what turned into a true grudge match, Wilkinson had trouble getting off of his back. He did just fine on the feet (the total strike battle was 62-61 in favor of Amirkhani), but Wilkinson allowed Amirkhani to hit four of his six takedown attempts. Wilkinson is big and strong for the featherweight division, but he has struggled massively when tasked with facing better competition. He still has potential, but Saturday's effort was a major setback.
